N12 highway now clear after EMPD protest causes traffic chaos
Metro spokesperson Zweli Dlamini apologises for the inconvenience caused and assures residents that the city is committed to restoring normal traffic flow and stability as soon as possible.
The N12 highway is now clear following this morning’s (March 19) traffic interruption due to protest action by EMPD members.
EMPD spokesperson Thabiso Makgato has confirmed that other clear highways include the N17, R21, N3, and R24.
EMPD officers blocked various routes and highways in Ekurhuleni with their patrol vehicles, leaving motorists stranded and frustrated, reportedly due to reduced overtime hours.
City of Ekurhuleni metro spokesperson Zweli Dlamini has condemned the illegal strike, which has resulted in significant disruptions on key arterial routes.
“We strongly condemn this unlawful protest action, as it compromises public safety and disrupts the daily commute of thousands of residents and visitors. The city is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders and law enforcement agencies to resolve the situation swiftly. Motorists are urged to exercise patience, seek alternative routes where possible, and remain vigilant.”
Dlamini apologised for the inconvenience caused and assured residents that the city is committed to restoring normal traffic flow and stability as soon as possible.
